New Moon Soundtrack

The Twilight: New Moon soundtrack. So, there’s a second film about sexy boy vampires, and although you might have expected another twelve songs of emo bleurgh to go with it, it turns out those feisty little vamps and vampettes have grown out of all that noisy melancholy riff-rock and now have a taste for Thom Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. They grow up so fast.

The soundtrack album to the first Twilight got the ball rolling with Muse, Paramore and Linkin Park, so seeing Mr Yorke turn up here is something of a shock (a Thom Yorke track was used over the end credits of the first film, but was not included on the soundtrack. Since then Mr Yorke has presumably decided to embrace the Twilight series with open arms – expect many songs about kissing perty vampire boys on the next Radiohead album). Evergreen indie miserablists Death Cab For Cutie are on there too, sounding enjoyably miserable. Bon Iver are reliably lovely, and even BRMC have gone unplugged here. Twilight, it seems, has gone all acoustic and chilled.

There is an Editors song thrown in at the end just to ruin it – the Editors, as we all know, being not necessarily worse than Hitler, but certainly up there with Goebbels. But essentially, this is quite a good listen. It’s just got those stupid Abercrombie & Fitch vampires on the cover…

I am SO disappointed with this soundtrack. Only 2 songs that I like and 1 song I couldn’t even get through! Hit next half way through it. I know one of the themes of the second book is Bella’s suffering through her depression after Edward leaves, but OMG!

Also, is anyone at all reminded of “Buffalo Bill” from Silence of the Lambs, when listen to this music? It’s all I could think about. The scene where he’s trying out his ‘girl suit” in the basement? The music in the background has the same vibe.

Anyway, I really wished I liked it more. I’ll keep trying to like it, but I don’t hold out much hope. Don’t hate me. I love all things Twilight. But now I’ll be sad…October, November, December, January…

does ANYONE know what the song is that was playing on the ‘MEET JACOB BLACK’trailer whenhe spins Bella around? i’ve been waiting to hear the soundtrack to see if it was on there, but it doesn’t seem to be. what is that song??? i really liked it. Please help-thanx

hey, thanks for this..
but there is a song at 2 parts…
its when jacob is asking belle to remeber about la push, and at the end when she says she loves jacob… cant find it anywhere and its killing me its so nice…
could you try??
thanks :))
